First Advantage Corporation

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Beau, and I will be your conference operator today. I would like to welcome you to the First Advantage second quarter 2026 earnings conference call and webcast. Hosting the call today from First Advantage is Ms. Stephanie Gorman, Vice President of Investor Relations. At this time, all participants have been placed in listen-only mode to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's prepared remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, please press star 1 on your telephone. If at any point your question has been addressed, you may remove yourself from the queue by pressing star 2. Lastly, if you should need any operator assistance today, please press star 0. It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to Ms. Stephanie Gorman. Please go ahead, ma'am.

Thank you, Bob. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to First Advantage's second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. In the investors section of our website, you will find an earnings press release and slide presentation to accompany today's discussion. This webcast is being recorded and will be available for replay on our investor relations website. Before we begin our prepared remarks, I would like to remind everyone that our discussion today will include forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or applied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. These factors are discussed in more detail in our filings with the SEC, including our 2025 Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026 to be filed with the SEC. Such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, and we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Throughout this conference call, we will also present and discuss non-GAAP financial measures, reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the extent available without unreasonable effort of parent-paid earnings, press release, and presentation, which are available on our investor relations website. I am joined on our call today by Scott Staples, our Chief Executive Officer, Joelle Smith, our President, and Steven Marks, our Chief Financial Officer. After our prepared remarks, we will take your questions. I will now hand the call over to Scott.
